I apologize for my long absence – I’ve had internet problems, but I promise to be back and resolve everything by Friday.

Can the defending side use hit-and-run?

The rules are final – I (and I wrote them) understand hit-and-run in this way: The opponent, at the beginning of any round, uses a combat skill and then flees or bribes. These are not rating rules, although these rules are based on them and not only on them. The answer to the question: hit-and-run cannot be used by either side in any round. If hit-and-run is a term that refers only to the first round, I’m not sure – then the rules should be understood as follows:

(using combat magic against an opponent in battle and fleeing or bribing during that turn)

After all, I explained everything clearly.
